Gave a password, PIN or code to a scammer in Singapore: what to do now

Start at the top. Do the first step first. Take your time.

Stop it getting worse

Now, in the next few minutes

Call your bank now and ask them to freeze your account and cards.
Say: "I have been scammed. Please freeze my account and stop any payments."
Have ready: Your account or card number, the amount, and when it happened.
Call the number on the back of your card.

Over the next few weeks

Change your passwords from a phone or computer you trust, and turn on two-step login.
Check your bank and card statements every day for the next few weeks. Look for new payees and new devices.
No real bank or police officer will ask you to move money to keep it safe. Anyone offering to recover your money for a fee is a scammer.
This happens to millions of careful people. It is not your fault. If you need to talk, these lines are free.
